David: How about under the window?
Matt: Put the hi-fi on the chest of drawers.
David: Put the chair in the corner.
Helen: I don't know...
Jane: Why don't you paint it?
Helen: Paint what?
Jane: Paint the room.
Helen: I don't know. I'm not very practical. I don't like painting. I'm always too busy. I don't really have time today. I have a lunch appointment at one o'clock. It's impossible!

Helen: Really?
David: Yes.
Matt: Yeah.
Helen: Are you sure?
Jane: Of course we're sure.

David: Thank you.
Matt: How about this?
Jane: Black? There are some really nice colours here. Oh look. This is lovely.
David: How much is it?
Jane: Sixteen pounds forty-nine.

Matt: Yeah, I like it.
David: How much is it?
Jane: Eleven pounds ninety-nine. How many do we want?
David: Two. That's... twenty-three ninety-eight. Twenty-four pounds. That's OK.
